it really is funny how literally every returning character to Strive got a massive visual rework and overhaul, but Johnny hasn't changed one bit in 21 years
God damn, the updated visual effects look fantastic in Strive. That's My Name's explosion is distinctly J-shaped, the card fluttering down looks so cool and Joker Trick is just... mwah!
damn, That's My Name might be the best looking strive super right now, can't wait to see what they will cook up with the supers of the other S3 characters.
I think Strive has done a good job for Johnny and most characters overall but goddamn... 'That's my name' from XRD is SO stylish maybe just a little long
@@Zalaphrax I think XRD has a fantastic combination of making the hits feel satisfying, the right amount of pause with the sword spin and the final pose and explosion. Strive lacks those aspects but instead has a much better cinematic, motion, camera work and the final flick at the end to bring it all home. Might be personal but the delayed explosion of XRD just feels a bit more Johnny to me. Both are fantastic tho Assuming you are even talking about the ‘That’s my name’ animation…
@SolarArkon Yes, that's exactly how I feel about! Feels pretty abrupt in Strive, but I do think both look good, I just prefer the delay into the pose and the impact of the hits in Xrd
Exactly mf 1 feels so much better in xx than xrd But lvl 3 in xrd is something else Lvl 3 in xrd wall splats long enough that you get to ik opponents sometimes
Bruh we haven't even heard his full theme yet in strive how can you say it's bad although yes they should have used his older theme cuz we don't have enough of his strive theme yet to actually use in this video
@@brittlekneesmgee3674 heard enough of his new theme to know its not even as good as the Xrd theme. Strive music in general is kinda ass. AC OST was the peak for the series
@@jelaninoel while its an opinion, i have to disagree. I started playing GG when bridget was announced in strive, and i immediately fell in love with the music. Then I started playing xr because people said it was the best fighting game since the creation of pong. And, while it is a good game, the music isn't really the best of the best imo. Strive's "Let me carve your way","Love the subhuman self","Alone infection","Drift" and "Armor clad faith" hit so hard that it made me buy the game instead of pirating it like most games I play. Still, it's my opinion so it realy doesn't matter.
@@jelaninoel Johnny's strive theme sounds amazing so far and I love the country rock vibe it's going for which makes sense since Johnny is based on Johnny Cash
@@curiouscork6302 listen to the AC OST. Everyone’s theme is iconic. Love strive as a game but outside of maybe Faust’s theme. All the tracks with their weird “engrish” and seemingly random melodies is just not something you play air guitar to

johnny is canonically too cool to change his design from game to game
Why change perfection?

@@burnin8ableand that's including his VA
@@tedjomuljono3052 that part I didn't know, that's also really cool!
Iirc he will optionally have a beard in strive

Its so cool that they simplified johnnys gameplan for the new generation of fighting games while not butchering what hes supposed to be, good job Xrd.
You had me in the first half ngl
THE FACE ON MAY DURING THE IK I FORGOT HOW GOOFY IT WAS
His XX render makes him look baked af
Cards double as coins and bacchus. In strive, on hit card will bounce the opponent while in block it guard crushes
damn, That's My Name might be the best looking strive super right now, can't wait to see what they will cook up with the supers of the other S3 characters.
What about hpb?
@@curiouscork6302 not even HPB looks as good and i'm a stinky pot main
Super Mappa Hunch
Rip That's My Name's tip toe pose
they got rid of his funny pose in the overdrive...........
But he’s still got that “cool guys don’t look at explosions” flare!
I dunno why but seeing 'em side to side reminds me of how much personality xrd had :(
I can see that but strive does make the characters feel more "alive" overall
I think Strive has done a good job for Johnny and most characters overall but goddamn... 'That's my name' from XRD is SO stylish maybe just a little long
I know Im nitpicking but That's My Name looks a lot more cinematic but lost some flair with the MJ toe stand gone as its ender

Mist Finer looks like a fly swatter in XX
I think it looks and feels better than it did in Xrd, at least the level 1 version
Exactly mf 1 feels so much better in xx than xrd
But lvl 3 in xrd is something else
Lvl 3 in xrd wall splats long enough that you get to ik opponents sometimes
I think midair deal is meant to mimic air zwei while applying to his new mechanic
Damn that's true
nothing by the astronomical rules of space and sciences will stop me at all ultimate world bending costs
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Johnny's Xrd proportions look so weird after seeing Strive.
Strive looks so much better.
And Strives Mist Finer has the most impact of all of them.
rip coins
Xrd Johnny stays a king unfortunately
Should have used his original soundtrack. You know, the GOOD one
